Wasn't the land of Israel given to the Jewish people by God in the days of the old testament?

Answer 1

Yes, it was given to them. There was also a condition when thay had it. That they do not rebel against the teachings of God that was handed down from Moses to the last of King of Israel and Judah. When they angered God, they suffered great lose from the hands of many enemies from the Assyrians,to Babylonians and Romans and they became an exiles in their own land. The British with other Cohort nations however, trying to play God, made a declaration of bringing back the Jews to their Old land that sparked the quarrels between Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Israel. And the rest is history as we know today.

Answer 2

No, God did not "give" any land to anybody. Land is to all men around the globe including to the Jews.
Lors Balfour gave the current Israel land (previously Palestine) to the Jewish communities as part of a political deal with France back in 1919.

Answer 3

For those who believe that the land in the middle east called Israel is the promised land offered to Abraham. Why didn't Abraham receive that promise? It is because, according to Hebrews 11, Abraham was not interested in a dusty war filled piece of desert, but in the Heavenly Canaan, and the New Jerusalem, whose builder is God.

Answer 4

Yes. They Jews wandered in the desert for 40 years after being freed from Egypt. When they found the promised land, Moses was forbidden to enter because of something he did to offend God. Joshua led the people to the promised land.

Answer 5

Yes, it was. But on the condition that they be pious and sincere to the teachings of their God-trusting prophets. When they deviated from that, God also said that He owns all land and can relegate it to whomever He wills. Clinging to a certain verse from the Bible with an interpretation that will suit the Zionist whim without considering other passaging is doing disservice to God.

Answer 6

If it was, why was it that God gave them such a small piece of land? Why did the Muslims get large and oil rich lands? Any religious people want to think that up and try to understand the reasoning?

Answer 7

I never thought that God got his realtor license. When God comes down and says "Hey, I gave these guys the whole country" then I will listen. Till then I only see a whole nation intent on genocide. Israel is protecting a stolen nation by saying "God gave it to us". I tried that defense as a child. I would say to the police "some guy gave it to me". Sounds like Israel is using the ultimate "some guy" defense. The only problem is that some fools believe them.

Answer 8

Yup, and then he ordered them off of it again later! God ordered them off of that land a few times and even told them that they were to wait until a Messiah appeared before they tried claiming it again! I do not believe Hitler was what God meant by a Messiah.

Answer 9

God gave them that land milleniums ago as their promised land. But what they fail to see and what we fail to see is that it was taken from them by God because they didn't recognize and embrace Jesus as their Messiah. Jesus said to the Jews, "Your house will be left desolate because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."

Answer 10

yep. and God just told me that He has decided to give me my next door neighbor's 10 acres so i guess i'll just go over there and tell them to get the hell off MY land or i'll bulldoze down their house with them in it. i can always build another house. it's MY land now. God said so.
